[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP reviving this to ask a new question:

I have variegated liriope in a contained area along a path (it has sidewalk on one side and a stone border on the other). It's a small area with 6 liriope and no other plants. How hard do you think it will be to dig these out? I don't believe they are the traveling variety. Tips on taking them out?

And, if I do successfully dig them out, what should I plant instead? This is a hot, full sun area that gets southern sun all day. Looking for a native that will look nice since this is in front of the house. I don't want it to be too tall - maybe 1-2 feet max. Thanks for any suggestions! [/quote]

You should be able to get rid of it. Just make sure you get rid of all the root, because anything you leave behind will re-sprout. As for plant suggestions, try one of these - Pink muhly grass (Muhlenbergia capillaris), Blue eyed grass (Sisyrinchium angustifolium), Butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa), Threadleaf coreopsis (Coreopsis verticillata), Wild geranium (Geranium maculatum), Wild petunia (Ruellia caroliniensis), and Golden alexanders (Zizia aurea). Make sure you also take soil moisture into consideration. Some will do better with moist/wet soils and others prefer dryer conditions. If you're willing to go a little taller, the narrow-leaf mountain mint (Pycnanthemum tenuifolium) is a really nice plant.[/quote]
